Barracuda Networks and Microsoft Azure

Barracuda Networks was the first Microsoft Azure Certified Security Solution Provider. The Microsoft Azure Certification assures that the Barracuda Solutions have been tested for readiness and compatibility with Microsoft Azure public cloud, Microsoft Cloud Platform hosted by service providers through the Cloud OS Network, and on-premises private cloud Windows Server Hyper-V deployments.

The Microsoft Azure Certification brings customers several benefits

Time of deployment is cut by 50-80%

Ease of deployment increased by 90%

Deployment bandwidth requirements are reduced to near-zero

Current and future Barracuda on Microsoft Azure products allow both evaluation and purchased licenses at deployment time

Microsoft works closely with Barracuda engineering, solutions architects and sales teams to create a great customer experience and make it easy for customers to leverage the Barracuda NextGen Firewall, Barracuda Spam Firewall and Barracuda Web Application Firewall to move their applications into the Azure cloud securely.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall and Barracuda Message Archiver offer best-of-breed email management, archiving, and security for organizations utilizing Microsoft Office 365. And there is more to come – stay tuned and learn about the latest innovations from Barracuda Networks and Microsoft Azure.

Moving Your Physical Data Center to the Cloud?

Get Secure Connectivity with Visibility and Control with the industry's most advanced next-generation firewall solution for Microsoft Azure. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall ensures highly secure, encrypted traffic from, to, and within Microsoft Azure, providing secure remote and site-to-site access, and centralized management.

The growth in cloud computing capabilities and services has driven more data into places where traditional IT security measures cannot reach - into data centers not owned by your corporate IT group. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall provides centralized management and highly secure, encrypted traffic to, from, and within Microsoft Azure deployments. Securing applications and data in Microsoft Azure is far easier with tools that are dedicated to the task. Deploying the Barracuda NextGen Firewall in the cloud is very similar to running local network firewalls, and provides the advantages of common policy enforcement and distributed security management in a hybrid-IT environment. It provides next-generation firewalling and secure remote access to Microsoft Azure. It enables organizations to deploy sophisticated multi-zone network architecture in Microsoft Azure, just like their on-premises networks.

By using the proprietary high-performance VPN protocol extension TINA, the Barracuda NextGen Firewall deployment enables secure high-speed site-to-site and client-to-site connectivity between on-premises networks and mobile-user devices, as well as connectivity between VNETs in Microsoft Azure. Best of all, it features the industry's best centralized management, ensuring highly scalable and fault tolerant network infrastructure required by today’s users, without the management overhead. The Barracuda NextGen Control Center adds a powerful and intuitive centralized management portal that makes it extremely simple to deploy, configure, update, and manage multiple units from a single location, while also providing comprehensive, real-time network visibility and reporting.

The Barracuda Advantage

Secure and reliable connectivity between on-premises and Azure deployments as well as between Azure deployments

Central management of all functionality for both, on-premises and Azure deployments

Secure Connectivity

For an optimum Azure deployment, it is crucial to initiate the deployment in a highly secure and reliable way. Deploying a Barracuda NextGen Firewall F-Series in Microsoft Azure provides comprehensive, secure connectivity capabilities, starting with high-performance TINA VPN tunnels for site-to-site and client-to-site connections. Deployment includes robust WAN optimization features to maintain the highest quality of service possible.

Integrated Next-Generation Security

The Barracuda NextGen Firewall F-Series is designed and built from the ground up to provide comprehensive, next-generation firewall capabilities. Based on application visibility, user-identity awareness, intrusion prevention, and centralized management, the F-Series is the ideal solution for today’s dynamic enterprises that are adding Microsoft Azure into their company network.

How to Deploy the Barracuda NextGen Firewall on Microsoft Azure

The Barracuda NextGen Firewall Azure can be deployed as a virtual machine in the Microsoft Azure cloud. You can use up-to-date Application Control 2.0, user awareness, integrated malware protection, and VPN services to securely handle and manage all traffic in your virtual network.

Solution:

The growth in cloud computing capabilities and services has driven more data into places where traditional IT security measures cannot reach - into data centers not owned by your corporate IT group. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall ensures highly secure, encrypted traffic within Microsoft Azure, provides secure remote and site-tosite access, and centralized management.

The Barracuda NextGen Firewall fills the functional gaps between cloud infrastructure security and a defense-in-depth strategy by providing protection where the application and data reside, rather than solely where the connection terminates.

Because of the isolation between VMs, tenants, and virtual networks, the Barracuda NextGen Firewall operates just as if it were a physical device bridging connections between application servers in a network DMZ and your ISP's router.

Since no traffic is allowed from the Microsoft Azure Fabric, host OS, or hypervisor to a tenant's virtual network or VMs, the NextGen Firewall can intercept all Layer 2 through 7 traffic and apply policy-based controls, authentication, filtering, and other capabilities. And as with its physical counterpart, the same traffic management and bandwidth optimizations can be used to make the environment more efficient, thereby using fewer billable cloud resources.

Beyond its powerful network firewall, high availability, and VPN technologies, the Barracuda NextGen Firewall integrates a comprehensive set of next-generation firewall technologies, including Application Control, IPS, anti-malware, network access control enforcement, and comprehensive user awareness. The Barracuda NextGen Firewall is fully compatible with Microsoft Azure for establishing site-to-site and/or client-to-site connections to its cloud services, and creating a virtual DMZ in Azure to implement an additional high-security layer.

The Barracuda NextGen Firewall merges the worlds of on-premises data center network protection with cloud IT security needs, helping you close the gaps between native Microsoft Azure capabilities and traditional hardware-based application firewalls.

Deploying the Barracuda NextGen Firewall in the cloud is very similar to running local network firewalls, and provides the advantages of common policy enforcement and distributed security management in a hybrid-IT environment.
